Badgers Bracketology: Feb. 7

Since we're now into February, I figure it is a good time to start showing what seed the analysts around the Web predict Wisconsin will end up being. I used to do this in January, but that seemed a bit early. Now we're getting into crunch time.

An interesting mix in this week's projections, mainly predicting a 4-6 seed. Without further adieu, here's the list (if you think I'm missing any projections, please just email me with the name and link):

Sporting News' Ryan Fagan: 5. No listing of matchups, but the 12 seeds are Purdue, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee State and Oral Roberts (presuming the latter two would be in a play-in game. Yeah, I called it that.)

Yahoo.com's Brad Evans: 5. No matchups, but UW is the top 5 listed. The two lowest 12 seeds are North Carolina State and Colorado State.

The Washington Times' Patrick Stevens: 4 vs. North Carolina State or Xavier in South Region. If all went according to plan, No. 1 seed Kentucky would be UW's opponent in the Sweet 16.

Basketball Predictions: 4. No matchups, but UW is listed as the third 4 seed. The second 13 seed listed is Stanford.

Warren Nolan: 4 vs. Washington in Midwest Region. If all went according to plan, No. 1 seed Kentucky would be UW's opponent in the Sweet 16.

The Hoops Report: 4 in West vs. George Mason. If all went according to plan, No. 1 seed Baylor would be UW's opponent in the Sweet 16.

Collegehoops.net's Shawn Siegel. 5. No matchup, but listed as the top 5 seed. Ole Miss vs. Colorado State is listed as the bottom 12 seed matchup.
